One hundred and thirteen species and varieties of foraminifera
are deacribed from the Recent bottom sediments of Tremadoc Day. A detailed study ot the genus Technitella was carried out and
the genus emended in the light ...

The status of thirty four species of the cytheroidean ostracod family Cytheruridae from the NeuquEn Basin, west-central Argentina is reviewed. These species belong to the following nine genera: Eucytherura Muller, ranging ...

In a desire to create a space of dialogue for scholars working at the interface of Geography and Science and Technology Studies we arranged a special paper session at the Annual International Conference of the Royal ...

Volcanic ash (tephra) erupted from the frequently active Campi Flegrei volcano forms layers in many palaeoenvironmental archives across Italy and the Mediterranean. Proximal deposits of 50 of the post-15 ka eruptions have ...

This paper provides the first comprehensive description and interpretation of Pleistocene glacigenic deposits exposed in a cliff section at Thurstaston on the Wirral Peninsula, NW England. The section occupies a strategic ...

A single-aliquot dating procedure for measuring the equivalent dose in fine-grained quartz extracted from Chinese loess has been developed and tested. The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signal used for construction ...

This chapter argues that the eventful paradigm is of limited use to the archaeological researcher and contends that it is little more than a modern reinterpretation of determinism. The chapter uses volcanic eruptions on a ...

The geological record preserved in coastal salt marshes provides an opportunity to determine past hurricane activity during the Late Holocene in New England, USA. High precision dating is important to correlate overwash ...

A newly developed range-finder luminescence dating method is applied to samples from the eastern Punjab region of Pakistan. Overbank sediments from this area are the subject of an ongoing project into the demise of the ...

Recently a new dating procedure has been suggested, which is based on the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) signal that is measured after irradiated quartz is optically bleached and then ...

Potholes carved into streambeds can be important components of channel incision, but they have received little quantitative attention. Here empirical evidence is presented from three sites along the Orange River, Republic ...

This paper presents X ray excited TL spectra of magnesium borate doped with either single rare earth ions Dy or Tin, or co-doped with Dy/Tm, Tm/Mn or Dy/Tb. Intrinsic emission from the host material is in the UV/blue region ...

As the water crisis intensifies and climate change predictions suggest worse to come, no single factor is responsible. This paper looks at a number Of Sources of insecurity in water Supplies. It Concludes that population ...

Recent developments in digital technologies are heralding significant changes in the way we acquire, visualise and analyse archaeological data. Terrestrial laser scanners can be used to create photo-realistic virtual copies ...

The dates of recession of eleven outlet glaciers of the Hielo Patagónico Norte (Northern Patagonian Icefield) from their recent maximum positions have been inferred from dendrochronology, lichenometry, radiocarbon dating ...

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was applied to glacial sediments and adjacent loess from moraines in the Teskey Ala-Too and At-Bashy Ranges in the inner Tien Shan, Kvrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzstan). Two large ...

Glacier sediment–landform associations are commonly used as interpretive and predictive tools to reconstruct the nature of past glacial events. Here we provide a regional-scale study of the sediments and landforms around ...
